Topic: Oddball radiator fan shroud! (Read 3161 times)

I have an odd situation. I'm working on a 1968 RS/SS 396 car for someone and after doing my homework, I've found out that they had the radiator replaced with a "direct fit replacement radiator." This is not the same exact radiator that the car came with. It's been overheating slightly and I told them that it needed a fan shroud that was missing. So we spent $80 on an OER fan shroud, just to figure out that it didn't fit with this replacement radiator. Anyone have any ideas? I really don't want to use one of those cheesy aftermarket chrome shrouds that looks like a boat fender, but I also need something to help cool this car and keep body parts away from a spinning fan. I would just order the "stock restoration" radiator but it's $775. Not a feasible expense for this project.

If it's a 23 inch rad it can have 2, 3 or 4 rows. Camaros were 3 row unless Hd cooling was ordered. Rick's has a repro fan shroud for 23inch rads that works great if you can get GM clips to attach it. The repro long clip is rubbish.
